Memories made by you - Activities
GAME DRIVES
THE ESSENCE OF AN UNFORGETTABLE SAFARI
Game drives allow you to get up close and personal with wildlife and the nature and are really the essence of a safari.
BUSH WALKS
A WALK THROUGH THE UNTOUCHED WILD SIDE
A properly guided bush walk is the best way to experience nature and the sights, sounds and smells of the bush.
FAMILY SAFARIS
SHARED MOMENTS FOR ETERNITY
We love having kids on safari. Children of all ages make fantastic safari goers. Like little sponges, they absorb all information.
HONEYMOON
FOR THE ROMANTIC AT HEART
We all know what romantic means. It’s being somewhere, with someone, in a setting which makes your heart flutter.
FOOD & DRINKS
EXTRAORDINARY & DELICIOUS
At our lodges, our philosophy is always tasty, healthy, home cooked meals, carefully prepared and proudly served by our chefs.
SUNDOWNER SPOTS
A TRADITIONAL INDISPENSABLE
How do you like your sundowners? For us it‘s
a roaring fire, gently roasting a lamb leg, cold beers and gin and tonics.
WILDLIFE
